Science fiction

[Highly Psychological]

I love J.G Ballard the most at the moment...The way he combines Science Fiction/Dystopia/Psychiatry.... the setting he creates produces characters in his stories whom are very fucked up yet fascinating and funny.

J.G Ballard himself had severe Post traumatic Stress his whole life after witnessing everyone around him die during World War 2 as a child. And had trained to be a Psychiatrist in his twenties so here was a man who had a complex knowledge into the depths of darkness and insanity the human psyche can create....
Most of his charachters are relativly normal people they just have an utterly insane side to them.

His material is never classic science fiction.... I guess his earlier material from the 1950's is leans more towards the Science Fiction genre...but like Philip K Dick he is appalled and terrified*at the thought of being controlled by 'something'.....

Where as Philip K Dick seemed like he actuallyhad a mental illness i found it interesting JG Ballard in real life was an extremely normal Suburbanite with a wife and children living in a really conservative English Town who just unleashed this mind bending, Psychological Bombsite of a mind which created titles and works like Crash and Why I Want To Fuck Ronald Reagen and funneled it into his writing.....
